Hi, Using the new warped tool in cc2020, I warped a smart object and it turned out well. After saving the file, I opened the same file in cc2019 - when opened, the warped smart object is retained, but if I try to edit the contents of the smart object, the warping completely disappears. Does that mean anything created on cc2020 (with transformations made on smart objects) is not going to retain in lower versions of Photoshop?

thanks - I did think it was just the filters but when i tried creating a new gradient on a new layer - I still got the same effect.... I can't understand what happened, when this was finished a year ago it was all smooth -- any tips on what I should do? I really don't have a lot of time to re-create/retouch the entire photo...

Hoping that someone can tell me what I did wrong -- I opened an old file that I never had problems with before, in fact the project was finished and printed without any problems. I reopened the file a year later because a client wanted to re-use the photo and all of a sudden the gradients look like this (attached screenshot). I thought it was with all files but if I open or create new files, the gradients are smooth. Can someone tell me what I did wrong before I have to re-create the whole image? when I view the same file in bridge, there is no graininess at all. Would appreciate any thoughts on this - thanks!
